UX/UI Designer

Who we are

Built and run from Rotterdam, the site connects pet owners with local sitters and dog walkers.

About the role

We are creating this position because the workload has grown. We're looking for a designer who shows their process, takes critique well and knows when a design is good enough to ship. You can work from home anywhere in the Netherlands. We have no office requirement. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

What you'll work on

• Write handoff specs covering states, edge cases and responsive behaviour.
• Build interactive prototypes to test ideas before engineering starts.
• Sketch several directions early instead of polishing the first idea.
• Contribute components and patterns to the design system.
• Design user flows, wireframes and high-fidelity screens in Figma.
• Apply accessibility standards for colour contrast, focus order and touch targets.
• Work with product managers to define problems and success measures.

About you

• 3-5 years of product or UX design experience on digital products.
• Used to working directly with engineers in an Agile team.
• Portfolio showing process, not just final screens.
• Comfort running basic user research and usability tests.
• Ability to explain design decisions to non-designers.
• Working knowledge of WCAG accessibility guidelines.

Desirable

• B2B or data-heavy interfaces.
• Motion and micro-interaction design with ProtoPie, Principle or Lottie.
• Basic HTML and CSS.

• Training budget.
• Travel allowance.
• 25 annual leave days.
• Home office allowance.
• Bike plan.
